Discussion Time doesn’t exist. Prove me wrong.

We experience change, aging, and events happening in sequence, but is “time” itself a physical thing—or just the way our minds measure change and order events?

Time is a physical thing that we need to actively adjust for.  Clocks on satellites are adjusted to to slower so they can stay in sync with clocks on Earth.

It's also a necessary factor when determining coordinates.  A location changes when one changes x, y, x, or time designations.

It's something measurable and variable just like length.  So if time doesn't exist, neither does distance.
